Crafty Devil IPA

Crafty Devil's got that clean American IPA backbone—solid pine and citrus zest up front, nothing murky about it. There's a brightness to the finish that doesn't linger too long, which honestly feels intentional. It's the beer equivalent of a handshake: confident, straightforward, no hidden agenda. The bitterness is there but integrated, not attacking.

Susan

Susan's more subdued on the nose, which threw me the first time. Then you taste it and there's this herbal, almost earthy undertone that sits alongside the citrus—grapefruit maybe, but greener than that. It's got restraint, which sounds boring until you realize it's actually asking you to pay attention. The finish dries out in a way that makes you want another sip to figure out what just happened.
